Non-self-explanatory non-explanation
News item:
Perfect pair of sentences. "Did not say why it was reopening the investigation", followed immediately by saying why: "It's now an open investigation and I can't comment."
In other words, Portland is setting up an "investigation" so it can plausibly remain silent about the misdeeds of its Pope, Lord, Prophet, Saint, God Above All Gods, Name Above All Names, the Crazed Sex Poodle.
This will be a difficult "investigation". Normally a government "investigation" has two jobs: to cover up the crime and to discredit the accuser. Normally the accuser is easy to destroy because he's a conservative or a Christian. In this case the accuser will be much harder to damage because she belongs to the same tribe as the Portland authorities, namely the Birkenstock Tribe.
Safe bet: There are many more Birkenstocks yet to drop. In the last few months before this exposé, it's been obvious that Sex Poodle was in some kind of big trouble, far bigger than one old assault charge breaking out of its cover-up shell. Sex Poodle had been canceling speeches, Mrs. Sex Poodle wanted a divorce, Sex Poodle's daughter divorced her husband.
Not quite safe bet, but I'd still bet it: When all is said and done, we'll realize that the conventional picture of Slick Willie as the cunthound and Algore as the Puritan was backwards. Sex Poodle sounds like a man totally accustomed to 100% instant obedience by every female he encountered in his life. ¶ 1:49 PM
Former Vice President Al Gore welcomes a Portland police decision to reopen an investigation into a massage therapist's allegations that he groped her at a hotel four years ago, his spokeswoman said.
Kalee Kreider said that Gore "unequivocally and emphatically" denied making unwanted sexual advances. She added that "further investigation into this matter will only benefit Mr. Gore."
Portland police did not say why it was reopening the investigation in its brief statement Wednesday.
"It's now an open investigation and I can't comment," police spokeswoman Mary Wheat said.
